Positive Action faces HSE funding deadline today

A support group for women given contaminated blood products by the State has until today to convince the Health Service Executive (HSE) not to pull its funding.

Last week, the HSE formally wrote to Positive Action warning that it would no longer provide financial support unless the group could make a plausible case justifying continued funding.

The letter was sent as soon as an administrator installed by the HSE to ensure “appropriate expenditure of public monies” completed her work.
